Pros

Free breakfast on Fridays prior to pandemic, flexibility to work from home

Cons

Minorities are not compensated within market rate and lowest in the department. HR Business Partners do not proactively look for pay iniquities when utilizing HRIS reports which results in high turnover and disgruntled employees. Poor recruiting practices and lack of diversity in hires and management. This is not an organization you should join if you’re trying to advance in your career.

Pros

PTO available immediately. That’s about it.

Cons

Too much to list, but I’ll try. Salary is below average. The future at this company is terrifying. If you accept a job here, expect to have sub par resourcing, inadequate support, and impossible work loads. Turnover is insane and new people get full workloads before they even have access to the systems. Onboarding isn’t a thing, the training program is 90% “learn on the job” because no one has bandwidth for training.
